“Thank you so much to everyone who voted me Entertainer of the Year,”says Lacey Rain. It was her second straight year as a nominee for the Overall Entertainer of the Year Award. “I don't think I will ever be able to adequately express how much this means to me, but I will do my best to make everyone in this industry proud!”

“Our four Overall Entertainer of the Year nominees—which also included Roxi D’Lite, Simone Danalustrous and Tali De’Mar—represented the top touring ‘showgirl’feature entertainers in our industry, and their performances at the House of Blues certainly supported their nomination,”says ED Publications’Associate Publisher, Dave Manack. “And, ofcourse, our club nominees—highlighted by Scarlett’s, which took home the prestigious Overall Gentlemen's Club of the Year Award—represented the best-of-the-best in clubs of all sizes, both big and small.”
